Videocard Benchmarks: System Specs, 3DMark Vantage

The details of how the Palit Radeon HD 4870 X2 videocard test system
was configured for benchmarking; the specific hardware,
software drivers, operating system and benchmark versions are indicated below.
All benchmarks for the Palit Radeon HD 4870 X2 were run in Windows
Vista Ultimate, the reference video cards were tested in both Windows
XP and Vista for the DX10 benchmarks.

PCSTATS is in the process
of making the transition to a Windows Vista and Intel CPU
test platform, so keep this in mind as you scan the benchmark results.
In the second column are the general specs for the reference cards
this Radeon HD 4870 X2 videocard is to be compared against. Please take a
moment to look over PCSTATS test system configurations before moving
on to the individual benchmark results on the next page.

Benchmark results are grouped by GPU manufacturer first
(AMD/ATI or nVidia), then by GPU generation, and then by GPU class (high end,
mainstream, value). This approach provides a clearer view of how performance can
differ from generation to generation, and class to previous generation. The
product being tested is marked with the red colour bar. On with the benchmarks!
